All things to all people

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:

1. He called everyone brother.
2. He liked Gospel.
3. He didn’t get a fair trial.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:

1. He went into His Father’s business.
2. He lived at home until he was 33.
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:

1. He talked with His hands.
2. He had wine with His meals.
3. He used olive oil.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:

1. He never cut His hair.
2. He walked around barefoot all the time.
3. He started a new religion.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian:

1. He was at peace with nature.
2. He ate a lot of fish.
3. He talked about the Great Spirit.

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:

1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.

But the most compelling evidence of all – 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:

1. He fed a crowd at a moment’s notice when there was virtually no food.
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn’t get it.
3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do.

Six Flags Great America

July 7, 2009

We had such a fun day at Six Flags Great America yesterday. Brandon got a free ticket from school for reading over 6 hours. He has been looking forward to a day at Great America for months. It has been 4 years since the last time I was at Great America and I was a little concerned there would not be enough for Brandon and Nathan to do. They really have changed the park over the last several years to include rides and entertainment for young children. In addition to their original Bugs Bunny National Park area, they now have Camp Cartoon and Wiggles World that are perfect for toddlers. Six flags also did a great job listing out height requirements in their map. Brandon was also just tall enough to ride some “big kid” rides including the “Demon”! Both Brandon and Nathan loved riding the “Whizzer” with us and fighting pirates at the new “Buccaneer Battle” ride. We had a gorgeous day and had a wonderful time making fun memories as a family.

GradeGov.com

July 1, 2009

GradeGov In essence, you register at the site (FREE) and then, each day, you can give a grade (A,B,C,D,or F) to any US Senator or Representative; they, in turn, are sent your “grades” and any comments that you choose to add about why you graded the way that you did. You can also see where senators/representatives rank nationally.

On July 4th, the Congress will be sent its annual “report card;” this report card will be sent to every congressperson telling him/her how he/she was graded by the American people via this site.

The website is: www.gradegov.com

Happy grading!
